a1canary 0 Posted October 31, 2005 Ok, so lets look at the worst case scenario, these guys leave, but this should raise some cash. We can at least look at a major rebuilding job a la Leeds who are doing it on a lot less money.How would you do it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robbo007 0 Posted October 31, 2005 Problem with that is that we''d get a combined total of 6 million at most?!Ashton 4 - Hasn''t been spectacular this seasonGreen 1.5 - Hasn''t been above average this seasonSafri 0.5 - Out of contract in the summer / No one wants a player who players in the Af Nations for 2 monthsLeeds still must have a massive wage bill if you look look at the shear numbers they have been bringing to the club. I''d still prefer the team we have to the team they have. Eddie Lewis was a cracking signing on a free from Preston for them IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
breaker 0 Posted October 31, 2005 The problem a1 is that the players you suggest could leave (add to this list Huckerby, Shackell & Charlton with Davenport not returning) will not raise anywhere near the cash they should be raising. How many clubs will fork out more than £1M for Green or Safri? Is Ashton going to be worth £5M plus? However, I agree that some players hould be sold and new blood brought in - sell Green (Ward is more than capable), Huckerby, Brennan and buy Davenport, Elliot (Hull - proper left winger), and a right winger (or play MLJ there). Etuhu for the middle & Kenny Lunt (far too expensive but they''re my choices)Thing is - would anyone really want to come to this club at the moment? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j slat 0 Posted October 31, 2005 maybe we the board do not spend the money and pay off some of the £22 million debt....we then get relegated .....more players leave....attendances fall along with overall income.....a la Swindon, Notts Forest, Barnsley, Bradford, Oldham, MK Dons(wimbledon) .....
